St. Barts, a French territory in the Caribbean's Leeward Islands, is the ultimate jet-set destination. Its 14 beaches are jewels set in sparkling waters, the cuisine has a French flair and the scene is cosmopolitan chic. Here the dress code is stylish caftans, oversize sunglasses and sky-high heels, and the preferred mode of transportation is the yacht.
Gustavia, the capital of St. Barts, embodies the island's international appeal. The winding streets are lined with high-end boutiques, excellent restaurants and bars where you can toast your visit with a glass of rosé. A handful of historic sites round out the attractions.
